Figure 1 Electrocardiogram on admission. Note the J-wave augmentation in leads II, III, and aVF, and V4–V6. HeartRhythm Case Reports 2016 2, 347-350DOI: (10.1016/j.hrcr.2016.04.003) Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 Electrocardiogram tracing during a ventricular fibrillation storm. The ventricular fibrillation was initiated by a short coupled premature ventricular complex, and prominent J-wave augmentation is also noted.
